1.
A simple,
unembellished
veil flatters an
elaborate
wedding dress
best, while a
classic gown can
be paired with a
plain or an
ornate
confection.
2.
Beware of
ribbon-edge
veils that hit
at your
middle—they can
create a
horizontal line,
making you look
shorter.
3. Always check
your rear view
when trying on a
veil. To show
off the back of
your wedding
dress, choose a
sheer or
single-layer
design.
4. Any
adornments on
your veil should
begin below the
point at which
your dress
ornamentation
ends—this way
the two won’t
compete.
5.Traditionally,
veils are deemed inappropriate for
second-time or pregnant brides. But if
your heart’s set on one, choose a more
subdued style such as elbow-length or
flyaway
6.
Make sure
your blusher
veil is long
enough to flip
over your head.
7.
Tiaras are a
popular choice
these days—but
don’t wear one
so tall or bold
that it steals
the spotlight.
Intricate hair
jewels are
another popular
choice.
8.
Take your
face shape into
account when
making your
selection. A
veil that falls
straight down
narrows a round,
full visage; a
waterfall
design
adds width to an
oblong face. A
square jaw
benefits a
longer veil,
while a
heart-shaped
face looks best
with a veil that
falls behind the
neck.
9.
Planning to
doff your veil
after the "I
do’s"? Invest in
a
headpiece—try
a wide satin
headband—that
looks good
without the
tulle. The
headpiece should
have fabric
hooks and loops
or Velcro
fasteners for
easy veil
removal.
10. Take a brisk
walk with your
headpiece to
make sure that
it stays firmly
in place. You
don’t want to
lose it before
you reach the
altar.
